Desperate Poroshenko Calls Putin as War Stakes Escalate

On
June 9th, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President
Petro Poroshenko held a telephone negotiation during which, according to
the Ukrainian administration’s report, the two leaders discussed the
issue of Ukrainians imprisoned in Russia. This is the first
direct phone conversation between the two leaders in a long time ever
since Poroshenko’s provocative, undiplomatic slander of Putin and
Russians froze the Normandy format and bilateral negotiations.

Over
the past several years, multiple Ukrainian citizens – who have been
identified as officers of Ukraine’s military intelligence (GUR) – have
been arrested and imprisoned in Russia for plotting terrorist attacks.
Although the imprisonment of these Ukrainian terrorists is high on the
Ukrainian domestic political agenda, I believe that the real reason behind Poroshenko’s talk with Putin was something else. Poroshenko’s administration, as always, holds back and only orbi et urbi reveals the agendas of such telephone negotiations.

I suggest that the main topic of the talk was the military and political situation in Donbass and the Azov Sea.
We can expect in the near future to see a “leak” in Ukrainian media
about this, since, after all, the post-coup Kiev regime has proven
itself incapable of keeping high state secrets.

The situations in Donbass and the Azov Sea is not merely alarming, it is fraught with war. To recall, since June 1st Ukraine’s navy has blocked the Azov Sea up to Russia’s borders for “artillery firing exercises.”
This Ukrainian military blockade of the Azov sea line coast – which is
controlled by the Donetsk People’s Republic – can be seen as part of the
Ukrainian Armed Forces’ preparation for an offensive on Donbass, the goal of which, of course, is the complete extermination of the unrecognized republics.

Meanwhile,
the Ukrainians continue to shell the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s
Republics, including with guns prohibited by the Minsk Agreements. For
example, DPR fighters have reported that 82 and 120 millimeter mortars
have been fired regularly (several times daily). The LPR’s People’s
Militia has also reported that the Ukrainian military has consistently
pulled up military hardware and equipped its positions in the
Slavyanoserbsk region for what is likely to be an attempt at breaking
through parts of the contact line. According to soldiers in this sector
of the frontline, Ukrainian military vehicles (BMPs and BTRs) and heavy
artillery have been camouflaged and brought up to the frontline on a
daily basis.

In the UAF’s rear, field hospitals have been set up, which is a clear sign of Ukraine preparing for war. Snipers have also been actively deployed, and it is at their hands that most Donbass military casualties happen.
The DPR and LPR militaries have drawn attention to the high
professionalism of the enemy snipers as evidence that they are Poles,
Americans, and Canadians, not Ukrainians (whose snipers are much less
skilled).

In
response to ceaseless Ukrainian bombardments, the Donbass republics
have declared that they are ready to pull up their own artillery and
armored vehicles to the front line. This was stated by the leader of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, himself. However, this has evidently not been followed through with yet.

As
for the political “icing on the cake” of a possible Donbass offensive,
two of the Ukrainian state’s leaders, President Poroshenko and Interior
Minister Arsen Avakov, have claimed that the Minsk Agreements are dead.
On June 8th, Poroshenko himself said: “There is no such thing as a Minsk
format for negotiations. [Ex-Ukrainian President] Kuchma does not take
part in Minsk negotiations. There is only one format: the Normandy one.”
It is difficult to interpret these words as meaning other than that Ukraine is officially refusing to adhere to the Minsk Agreements (not a single point of which has Kiev fulfilled).

Avakov’s June 7th statement was even more clear: “The Minsk process had a role to play, but now it is dead.”
Avakov has since added that Donbass might be “liberated” over the
course of a “police operation” involving 2,000 police forces. Of course,
why this has not happened over the past four years of war in Donbass,
which has involved all coercive ministries and agencies, was not
explained.

I
perceive such statements as being mainly for domestic consumption in
the run up to the Ukrainian presidential elections. But it cannot be
ruled out that Avakov is trying to earn the sympathy of the
Americans by playing the role of the cowboy in the saloon. These
infinitely unrealistic, but harsh statements of Avakov’s might be
forging a reputation for him in the eyes of American hawks.

No
less important news has come out of Russia. On June 5-8, Russia’s
Southern Military District held war games which were a frank warning to
Kiev that any attack on the Donbass republics is inadmissible. On June
7th, during his hotline with Russian citizens, Putin did something
hitherto unheard of: the Russian President, who is famous for
his caution, unequivocally warned Poroshenko that any attack on the
Donbass republics during the World Cup would have “serious consequences
for Ukrainian statehood.”

I believe that these
words of Putin’s were what forced Poroshenko to initiate telephone
communication and try to halt the rushing locomotive of Ukrainian
militarism. Knowing Poroshenko’s style and motivation, and
being conscious of the vassal relations between Ukraine and the US, I am
sure that the Ukrainian pseudo-president does not want war. But he is
literally being pushed towards it by much more radical forces and
foreign geopolitics.

Amidst all these high stakes, the chances that even relative peace will be preserved are altogether slim.
